AIR-TIGHT, STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 3,400, dated January 6, 1844.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN CLINE, ot Norwalk, Huron county, State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Air-Tight YStove for `the Prevention of Condensing; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full and eXact description.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction of a cylindrical pipe running through the stove to admit rarefied air into the stove pipe for the purposeof carrying off the steam from the wood and pre-` vent it condensing.

To enable Others skilledin the art to make and use my invention I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.` t

The stove represented by Figure (l), letter (A), is constructed of sheet iron or cast iron in the shape of a common square stove. l

The door F ig. (2), letter (B), is a square plate of iron suticientlylarge to cover the mouth of the stove put on by twoslides so that it can beraised or lowered so as `to shut tight by the handle as `represented `in drawing.

Fig. (13), letter (C), is a pipe made of sheet iron about` one and a half inch in diameter running from the frontof the stove to the neck or outlet of the stove with an elbow entering thevalve plate and placed close to theupper plate of the stove on the under side fastened by a brace asl repre- A `sented in drawing to cause a current 'of air in the pipe of the Stove.

l (A), later (D), is a plate of im large enough to cover and rivet onthe neck ofthe stove with two holes made in it one for the entrance of the air pipe and one square one as large as will admit for the valve to play over and riveted on the under side of the ncek.

Fig. (5), letter (E), is the valve regulating the draft of the stove large enough to cover the square hole in the plate and put on with a hinge. A wire is attached to it passing through the pipe by which means it can be regulated as occasion may require.

The bottom of the stove is to be filled with cold ashes to the depth of four or five inches stove as represented in drawings thereby carrying ofthe steam and smoke and preventing the disagreeableness of the condensed matter.
